@Tesla Omg. Electric Thrusters???

In the past four months, my workflow has completely changed. I barely code anymore. I design systems, make trade-offs, and give direction to coding agents.
This is exactly why system design fundamentals matter more than ever.

[Puneet Patwari @system_monarch]

I've been a backend Engineer for 12+ years. Today, I'm a Principal Engineer at Atlassian.

I've designed systems that handle millions of requests. Sat on both sides of system design interviews.

Reviewed more architecture docs than I can count.

Starting today, I'm breaking down the fundamentals of scaling for the next 25 days.

If you're learning system design bookmark this thread, you're going to get a lot of learning from this.

@sampullara Part of today will be turning off the “microservices” bloatware. Less than 20% are actually needed for Twitter to work!

立春 = "Beginning of Spring."

The Chinese believe the coming of Spring, in a season of freezing temperatures, often breeds new life. Friends come together and welcome the Lunar New Year, a new season - and #Beijing2022!

Watching #Arcane. Just realized 金克斯 is from “jinx”. Sad.

[Jolyon @jolyon129]

😂 @fuchsiadunlop I personally cannot stand the “fire” in Chongqing as well. This is quite a good explanation about how cuisine in Chengdu and Chongqin treat chillies differently! Even though my friend from Chongqing may not aggree with this. LOL.

Reading “Shark’s Fin and Sichuan Pepper”. What a surprise!
